First things first: you need real rest, plenty of sleep, decent food, staying hydrated, and a solid multivitamin/mineral supplement. If you still feel this way after doing all that, go back to your primary care physician and insist on more testing. Good luck.
I actually went 21 days straight without sleeping, and that was while living through the bombings back in the day... now, I just drink myself under the table after breaking up with my ex, and even though I'm drinking more and more, I can't close my eyes unless it's that brief moment right before dawn when I finally crash... if you ask me, it's pure tension. Also, height matters too, depending on your body type... and for blood pressure? Just eat some garlic every day.
